Abstract

The number of people affected by stroke increased during the last decades. However, the number of therapists is not large enough to fulfill the demands for specific training for stroke survivors. Within the project E-BRAiN (Evidence-based Robot-Assistance in Neurorehabilitation) we want to develop software that allows a humanoid robot to give instructions to perform and to observe carefully selected exercises, provide feedback and in addition to motivate patients.
